Carlos Machado quotes

Popularity:

“Even so, they are still better than last season, ... The midfield is very strong with Ricardo Quaresma, Lucho Gonzalez and Diego, while up front they have Jorginho, Benni McCarthy and Lisandro López.”

“[Like Rangers, their attacking options are offset by an untested defence.] They are not as good in defence as attack, ... They have replaced Seitaridis with Fatih Sonkaya, a Turkish defender signed from Besiktas. The fans don't trust him very much. César Peixoto is a winger playing at left-back. At the centre of defence are Ricardo Costa and Pedro Emanuel, how good are they? Not as good as Ricardo Carvalho and Jorge Andrade. Adriaanse has already said that Jorge Costa is too old.”

“I was standing with my friends at the coat check line when we heard two shots. We didn't think anything of it at first Then we saw people scrambling?There ended up being a corpse on the floor?The police were there in about five minutes.”
